Another reason I read your blog....its....Kentuckian flair! Thanks bunches for the correction, having no experience in all things back wat...oops! backwaterian I was completely clueless. </p>
<p>But you, you my man are the dude! Perhaps you could help me with some other words: Hill Billy, Moon Shine and Trailer Park come to mind. No need to weigh in on what to do when relatives wed, but if it comes up, I know where to go for help! </p>Tom commented on 'Note the Placement of the Lutherans'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83452032669e200e5528610cf88332008-05-28T08:50:01Z2008-05-28T08:50:01ZTomhttp://www.functionalambivalent.comRazib, You know what a joke is, right?

In fact, I believe that those who see the world only in literal, scientific terms are missing something -- imagination, perhaps, or a spiritual sensitivity that appears to be hard-wired into most people.</p>
<p>All of that said, I like that this chart implies that I -- a Lutheran -- am smarter than the Baptists who control Kentucky and make it impossible for me to order wine over the Internet. If anyone knows where I can find a chart that demonstrates that Lutherans are better looking than Baptists, let me know and I&#39;ll post it.</p>razib commented on 'Note the Placement of the Lutherans'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83452032669e200e55283cdb088332008-05-28T00:50:27Z2008-05-28T00:50:27Zrazib http://www.scienceblogs.com/gnxpIf Razib was so smart he'd be using that kind of analysis to run his hedge fund. hedge funds are...<p>If Razib was so smart he&#39;d be using that kind of analysis to run his hedge fund.</p>

Most of the time it seems that the person doing the publishing has a leftist slant and the point of the study is to prove that right wing=low iq or that literalist interpretations of the bible = low iq or my personal favorite, that gun owners are of lower iq. </p>
<p>I guess it helps to feed their egos when they produce &quot;evidence&quot; that those who disagree with them are obviously of sub standard iq, and therefor are just not equipped to understand why they are wrong.</p>
